Floral jeweled accessories | Dress My Craft Dies

Hello Crafty Folks,

I have another inspirational post today using the new Dress My Craft Dies. I'm sure you all must have seen the dies and have already booked your's for they are super pocket friendly and comes in varied designs options, giving clean and neat cuts and the best part is that; there is so much to choose from and the quality is the best one!

The moment I got the dies, I had numerous project ideas and I do plan to incorporate them one at a time, so I have lots planned and here is the first one I loved doing and was on my bucket list from a long long time.
I have made some Floral Accessories and these are not limited to be used as hair accessories, but can be used widely as I have done in my projects below.

I have used the ruffled rose die to make my flowers.

Lets have a look at the flower cluster that I made and then look at the varied places I have used the same one

 I went and made my flowers into a cabbage rose shape and decided to make a floral accessory cluster that can be used in a wide variety of ways!! I also used the golden chains from Dress My Craft as the binding element for these!

Along with the floral accessory cluster I also made a few hair pins and they came out super nice and exactly the way I thought they would. We, women love dressing and these floral pins makes for a super elegant piece of jewellery!



Now comes my second thought and I used the floral cluster on a candle, so this makes the candle super elegant and a perfect gift to gift this festive season!!

Doens't this candle makes for a perfect gifting solution this festive season? do try one out !!

The next idea to use the floral cluster was as a Corsage?? a bracelet?? why now?? This woul surely make for a awesome one and surely out of the box and would look so classy!!
So here's the floral Corsage!!

Well, the possibilities are endless and these dies from Dress My Craft are to die for!! These dies are so versatile and can make superb projects in a jiffy!! Well, my next post would be surely about experimenting these with other mediums apart from the Floral Oriental paper from Dress My Craft that I used to make these flowers for!!

I hope you liked the projects and would love to give these dies a try for sure!

Magnolia Explosion box + tutorial

Hi Friends

I am so excited with the reveal of Magnolia papers at DressMyCraft. They are such a delight to work with ! The blues and the pinks with some garden papers are such a beautiful mix of colors along with the jaw dropping images , the car loaded with flowers, dream catchers, window panes with flower buckets..ooh .. simply droolworthy <3 <3

There are also co ordinating motif sheets that are absolutely amazing for some easy fussy cutting when you do not want to waste the paper and also gives you a very good size of the image.

Another new introduction are the flower pearls, these are gorgeous colored beads that can be used in so many ways , especially with mixed media madness, they are a must have !

Moving to my creation for today, I made an explosion box in mixed media style ! The papers, motif sheets and a lot of fussy cutting are really the highlight, the papers and prints do the ,agic and combine it with flower pearls and DMC sequins, viola ..its done ! I have a step by step process for you to enjoy !

Here is what I made , following this would be how I made : )

For me, the cutest image was this car and I just kept thinking of a spring wedding when I looked at it ! Luckily I had a sentiment that conveyed exactly how I was feeling .

Like I said, the flowers and all other motifs from the paper itself , stole the show :P

Instructions:

Step1:

The explosion box measures 12x12 inches when open and 4x4 inches when closed with a lid, like a box. So I started with a 12x12 inches sheet of white cardstock and scored at 4" & 8" on both the sides of the paper.

The squares marked 'X' at the 4 corners were removed and I scored rest of the lines to form the box.

Step2:

Next I have cut a plain pink cardstock as a base on the white cardstock , just to add some interest and layered it with Magnolia papers

Step3:

Step 3 was to start putting together each of the 4 squares and embellish with some fussy cut images, I will post a separate picture of each square so you can notice what I have done

I have distressed the edges of pattern paper with a scissors and added some cheesecloth sprayed with Lindy's mist.

This fussy cut image from the motif sheet has the windows opened using a cutter so later I can add some sequins/ glitter/ beads.

Fussy cut flowers and a heart shape form the center of this square.

And the 4th one has a fussy cut dream catcher from the motif sheet again along with flowers cut from one of the papers

Step 4:

To each side I now added a sticker/ rufia/ pollen and for that mixed media finish, I added flower pearls and sequins

Step 5:

To make the center of the explosion box, I took a piece of thermocol a little smaller than the center (4x4 inches) and wrapped a fussy cut fence around it from the Magnolia papers

I made some cuts in the thermocol with a cutter and added thinly cut transparent sheet to which I wanted to add some fussy cut flowers.

Here is how it turned out

Step 6:

For the lid, I used a 6x6 inches paper, score at 1" from all four sides.

I did some fussy cutting and added flowers , leaves from DMC to complete the lid

Here is how I finally arranged it

Ta da ..!! Its done ! I hope you like it, do check out the supplies list below
